Validate block header gas limit

* Add block header gas limit validation in ValidateBlock function,
  see eq 39 and 45 in yellow paper. Before it was calculated _for_
  the block instead of validated.
* Use the block header gas limit when setting the gas pool instead
  of calculating the value for the block.
